E36+Nelson combine to form the (Official) Epic douchebag thread. WARNING!

[E36slide]

I simply cant fathom comparing engines based on a novelty "race". I understand what you're saying.... but i put no value on the results. You're intentionally making your car go around the track in a slow and inefficient manner... then comparing the ability of the engine to do this.

Yes new people go slow but people with actual skill arnt going slow at all. 40-50 in a slide is not all that easy. I don't consider it a sport but its fun. I don't consider time attack a motor sport so why shouldn't drifting be any different on comparison. One you're trying to maintain the car on one particular line on the track trying to get the best time where is drifting is based more on style and speed. Being able to go fast and carry momentum into a full lock slide.

Since you don't like drifting I wouldn't think you would get the comparison. Just because one doesn't like baseball doesn't mean it's not a hard sport to play. I'm just stating what I've seen and what I've seen is a closely built ka will out do the sr simply because it doesn't have the low trq needed to carry the momentum through the turns so we have to rely on its ability to rev really high. So every transition I'm having to match rev and keep my rev really high in between clutch kicks. If the ka is built your not having to worry about that since the low end trq is like a crutch giving I don't have to rev so high all the time. You can deff tell they created the ka for trucks in mind. It's very responsive on the low end.

Also, just to show that the "big boy" engines aren't always what you think is king, take some of the cars from JGTC as an example. The all-mighty Supras that ran in JGTC quite commonly used the 3S-GTE and some even used the 3UZ-FE....makes you wonder why they didn't use the 1JZ-GTE (not really all that much of a mystery). In later years, some of the GT-R teams ditched the RB for a VQ as well and in some GT-Rs, SR20s were used.

I believe those motors were used due to displacement limitations in that jgtc class, as well as weight.

Just to give an update on this matter as more details have been unveiled. It would appear that the highly anticipated world beater of a rb26 s14 turned out to be a bucket.

The white sr s13 is now broken down. Apparently said car that was "sniffing my tail pipes" @ 19psi was actually tuned for 14 psi and it popped on the boost. All the talk about how poor my HP numbers were for the amount of work done.....

well ladies and gentleman.....

This is why. There's a big difference between a well built sr20 that yawns at anything the small turbo can possibly throw at it and a non built sr20 that is running at it's breaking point. This 14 psi car popped @ 19 psi, my sr20 stayed @ 25psi for years. I'd drive it across country @ 25psi.

Another thing Nelson doesnt seem to understand when he flaps his pole polisher about his KA.

None of this matters to me too much as i am retired from the "240sx game", however.... i do still get tingly inside when i get to say i told you so.

Sorry to burst your bubble sinfix but the car didn't pop at all I'm replacing the head gasket only for safe measures for next season sorry if I made it seem as if it was broken down. I didn't have to take it apart I wanted to. I'm OCD and like shit done the right way but the s14 was a bucket.

Aiming more at the false advertising. You talked these cars up when they were in large part a mystery to you, as you are now revealing. Nelson does the same, but 10x worse..... Nelson's car had a dyno sheet and a track time before it fired over. From experience, you cant race cars with receipts.

if the car didnt break, and these are just things you're discovering, thats a different story, but its still false advertisement.

[Catnip]

Thank you for the kind words. Well it's simple, in waiting on parts and had the paint already so why not ? The engine bay looked horrible so it deff needed to be painted. I'm also doing a wire tuck an some other cool stuff. It's my first time actually doing a 240 my way instead of how i usually buy them. That's why I sold pretty much everything Associated its previous owner. I prefer it be my own. I'm literally OCD so I can't in my right mind put the motor back in knowing all the issues that exists.

The car should be 10x better then it was before I got it for sure.

This.
Again, not being any kind of way, but I don't know how you let that go unaddressed being OCD. I should snap some close ups of what I've done so far on my bay.

Not to mention the cut out portion. You could take some small hole saws and cut holes on the 4 corners. Then take a mini reciprocating saw or cut off wheel, and cut between the saw holes (connect the dots, if you will). Giving a cut out with radii, instead of nasty, jagged corners.

Then you should have seen it before I did that lol

I'm not comparing bad to really bad, I'm comparing bad to perfection, lol

Well I'm not a professional. I don't think my engine bay looks bad at all. If your being overly picky sure, but this car isn't going to be a show car. It will mainly be at the track. Thanks for the input though.

I could just easily tub the front and get rid of the spots your talking about.

I also didn't cut out those holes the previous owner did. I tried to fix it as best as I could but again I'm not going to be picky over jagged edges in my engine bay especially on a drift car.

lol.

"I'm OCD" to "you're just being picky."

[E36slide]

lol.

"I'm OCD" to "you're just being picky."

I'm OCD to an existent. How can I cut a hole to be perfect if its already cut out smart one? I know your just trying to start shit so it's cool. If anything I can mold rubber around the "jagged edges" not that anyone would notice it since my inter cooling piping will be coming through there and the intake pipe off the turbo with mad will be blocking the view of these horrible jagged edges.

Your trying to hard to get sin fix to talk shit about my work. Childish.

Lol, give it up. I told you exactly how to do it. I know what I'm talking about, and it won't just be me that thinks your car looks like complete shit.

Sorry for trying to help, but thanks for giving me a good laugh at your poor taste.

and lol again @ "OCD" and "OCD to an extent"

Ok dude. My car isn't for everyone's liking. I'm busting my ass are you? So please save me your bull shit. The car will look and be a lot better then it was so thAts fine by me that your stating my car looks like shit before you even see the finished product. Only negative thing you can come up with was the cut out was bad (which I didn't do). Pathetic, please save your poor argument for someone who cares. I'm not trying to impress Anyone but simply show casing i can build a car better then cb7tuner.


Before

After

So what your saying is my car looks like shit based of a photo of a car in this condition lololololol oh shit guys I have jagged edges in my engine bay!!!!! Wow you must be the holly grail of building cars. Excuse me while I bow down and kiss your feet.

[Catnip]

lol. Don't be mad at me because your car looks like shit.

Spray paint. Spray paint on half ass cut off brackets. Spray paint on half ass cut holes. Spray paint on rubber. Spray paint on wires. Spray paint on bolts. Spray paint on the latch. Spray paint on heater core. Spray paint on a/c lines. Spray paint on brake lines. Spray paint on half of the hinges. Spray paint on the wiper assembly. Did I mention it's spray painted? And let me guess, if I saw it in person, I'd see a lot of obvious places that don't even cover the previous color?

I didn't make your car look like shit.

If you wouldn't go around repping "OCD" like it's a gift from God, I wouldn't think so lowly of your pile. You're not OCD and this isn't a build.

Lol wow guy you try to hard.

You are making this website shit FYI.

I'm not a professional therefore you can't expect professional body and paint work. Jokes on you though.... Brake lines will be steal braided. Wiper assembly isn't even there all plastic pieces are in the garage. Wires will be pulled and re done and re wrapped. Did I mention this wasn't the finished product ? I guess you have a hard time reading let me type slower for you.... T h I s I s n o t t h e f I n I s h e d p r o d u c t.

My car is a pile ok thanks for the criticism guy. Now my gf would like to use my dick so would you be so kind to give it back or are you not done riding it ?

lol. You own and drive the car... the joke is, most definitely, on you.

[E36slide]

Giving y'all's so called intelligence level I would expect more. Catnip you suck at talking shit. You can't even admit that what I did looks 20x better then it did before which is what I was trying to do. This car will be at drift events every month so chances are this engine bay will e crushed. So why the fuck would I care if I sprayed over the heater core lines or bolts you stupid fuck. You have to be the dumbest mother fucker to try and talk shit to me. When I said OCD I ment for the mechanical side of the build as in the wiring and head gasket and all re other crap that was bad. The paint i did as part of down time waiting on parts. For my first time ever in my life painting a engine bay I did a pretty damn good job. No runs; cleared and i tapped off what will still be in the engine bay. I didn't care to pull the brake lines nor did I feel like doing the wiring at that present moment.


I'm done trying to talk to people like you. Your the best we know. Now fuck off pussy.

[E36slide]

lol. You own and drive the car... the joke is, most definitely, on you.

Damn I feel so bad driving my bad ass sil front coupe at drift events. I'm so ashamed.

[Catnip]

I'd be mad as hell, too, if I had to drive that, lol.

Wow you're that dumb lolol

Drifting is a style of driving much like dragging. I'm not emo nor am I hipster. Your moronic comments are over whelming. You hate on drifting because you can't do it or your older and don't understand it. There is a lot of technique and engineering that goes into drifting. As far as my car is concerned its on a high plat form in drifting. what if I said auto x was for sissy ass fags ? Your argument lacks substance your insults are that of a 3 year old. What is it you do ? I bet it involves a parking lot huh....

[E36slide]

Pics?

It's not done yet but soon they will be up I want it to be painted first

I meant drifting pics...




Had a blonde moment, realized there hasn't been any drifting events in the short time you've owned the car (I think, don't really pay attention to the schedule anymore).

I didn't notice the other cars I only noticed those two. Half of those guys don't even have those cars or have had 4-5 cars since then so it's hard to keep up lol just noticed the blue miata an the papa johns 240 because I've seen them drive those cars
